Thread Name: BS: Tobacco Farmer Holds off US with Tractor
Subject: BS: Tobacco Farmer Holds off US with Tractor
Saying that he has manure based explosives, Dwight Watson, age 50 and from North Carolina, has parked a Jeep pulling his farm reactor on a trailer in the "reflecting Pool" on the the Mall in Washington, D.C. Hmmmmm?Sounds like a *native * Carolina boy to me! (jus funnin')
But what isn't fun is this feeling that I have that if this was an IMF/World Band protester, he would have been shot by a sniper within a few minutes.
But Mr. Watson has a "Support Our Troops" sign and an American Flag and so the authorities have shown more diplomacy in dealing with him that the President has shown in total on Iraq.
It should be pointed out to those not familiar with where this guy is that if he detonated whatever explosives he has that are manure based that all that would be blown up would be one jepp, one trailer with a tractor and maybe a tree or two.
Just trying to put a few things into perspective here...
